How about we have women run the world... we wouldn't have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days. I rather see that than countries killing each other.

We can't really help you if we can't see your work. A screenshot of an output doesn't really help if there are many ways to come out with the same output.

Help with Java/PHP/Programming problem
* Gaining advice on different business endeavours I've tried/want to try
* Expressing my disdain for joining a company and building a conventional career
Does that not sound like I really am a Computer Science graduate, with ambitions to start a company, and make a big impact in the world?

I have done all of those... and look at me... I am arguably a mess ;)

Is there a certain requirement to what skill sets the person must have...? And is this innovation about a drink company that was supposed to be launched mid 2014...?

You know what, I think I figured out why I had a problem the entire time. My php variables didn't match what I had in the HTML file because of what I changed - diafol face atm after reading it until this far: :D . I finally got it to send me verifications and send me a copy of what they sent. I just need to clean it up... a lot.

yet be careful

Don't screw up. That's my motto atm with 4 tests coming up today and it is 2 am atm... tests for my classes start at 6:54 am... i should really get some sleep...

yawn no sign of effort = no point of assistance...

He lived long and prospered. (attempt at doing the spock hand symbol) \\//_

I still play runescape at times... i tend to ask people who quit if i can inherit their account's bank now a days...

Just got evolve... it's an awesome game.

Well, unless jack clark is your fake name and is trying to cover up your mistakes of your last account or you're the same jack clark who was one of the most feared right handed batter in the eighties trying to learn programming... who knows who you really are... I am guessing your next move is to make a fake linkedin or facebook and say, "see, its really me!"

Isn't it funny how a person from nasa is asks for help on a forum instead of his many colleagues about his algorithm...

@Jack, show some respect. We all know you lied about yourself, no need to continue with it. You solved your code issue, good. No need to tell someone to "stfu" because he was right about something. And please, post carefully... you will just dig bigger holes.

But my "Dad" is a programmer and gives me lot's of "Complex" code to look at. I say that in quotes because I have never seemed to find any code hard to understand unless it was in a language I'm not familiar with. (Or LOLCode)

Did you also put "dad" in quotes because your dad is someone who is a person that is not really a programmer...?

Lets be honest here, if your gonna just stay here and just call yourself a "gifted" programmer, why don't you actually prove it and actually help people on the forums... everything you answer seems to be something that anyone could google for.

Also, I have a few friends and a few cousins who attend MIT, they don't know anyone as young as you attending their school...

It's difficult for my computing standard to be affected, because it just feels impossible.

Just as impossible it is to believe anything you say? I mean, your own bio page on daniweb says your a member of Mensa... I am not a Mensa member (I will admit, I am smart but I don't call myself a genius) but I know a few people who are Mensa members (I have a few neighbors and my youngest brother are). Plus, you say you went MIT and graduated in 2013... you might as well show us your diploma...

Yep, I agree with the OP. Sadly, people will continue to take credit for minimal amounts of work while the person who did the work will not get much out of the other person.

Yep, I think I figured out how to duplicate this issue (not how i got it originally, but this is another way to get it).

I go to the edit profile page. Look at my birth year. I make it 01/11/95. It treats it as me being ancient, as if i was born in the year 95 rather than 1995... So basically, on the calendar that pop ups, it shows you that you inputted 1995 when you really wrote out 95. And no, that is not my birthday :P

Originally, when i went to the page, without making an update to my birthday, it said that I was over a 101 years old, even though i didn't make any changes to it... This also brings a new question up, what happens if you are a hundred years old and want to join daniweb :P

Well... look on the bright side, daniweb users are not like stackoverflow users... when I answered a question there a while ago as a newbie, i literally was downvoted so many times that my account was in position to be banned... what was my mistake you ask? I simply answered someone else's question and my answer basically just gave him the answer and i provided him some sources but what ticked me off is that another person (a person who is popular in the forum) posted the same thing i wrote, just a bit different, he got all the up votes... Stackoverflow, to me, just sucks in almost every way when it comes to the treatment of their newbie users (code project is nearly as bad too, but it has other benefits). The way daniweb is set up is perfectly fine by my opinion. The only time newbies get bombarded with downvotes and criticism is when they are disrespectful or if they ask us to do their homework for them without them showing their work.

Yes, i agree with all of the above about the fact that your slider/banner varies on what site/service you have. But i do have to add that your content on the slider/banner should not be bland. They should be at least a bit more interactive than the traditional slider. You want your user to be interested in what you are presenting. Interactivity is a key feature now, and that should not be ignored. Also, you don't have to follow the traditional style of making websites, try to be creative, sometimes that path is better. For some inspiration, go to https://behance.net/ or http://www.awwwards.com/

Shame really as they do have their place, but as they have been in the hands of idiots, they have become synonymous with bad design and woeful content

Yep, its why all my sites i work on are aware of such critique ;)

Give me contant I can absorb without working too hard. Those neverending scrolling one page wonders are the next thing people are crucifying.

Haha, sadly, that can be true sometimes. Though, with the right designers/developers/programmers/whomever works on it, it can be pretty awesome at times.

That will certainly make me puke.

Then you may really like this one :P: http://www.worldslongestwebsite.com/

Well... a bloke just refers to a man... or a fellow...

Anyways, when I get home, I will try to make an effort to getting involved with your question... I am stuck at a wedding... and it won't end until 2 or 3am... hopefully it ends sooner

Here is a site dedicated to bitcoins: https://bitcoin.org/en/getting-started

He actually didn't say anything wrong to start any argument. He just said that you have some of the top people helping you out with your problem and that he can't help you (implying that the 2 that are helping you are better assistance). He didn't say anything bad.

Your next post, which came right after his, was talking about the fact that you were dissatisfied with something about posting here and then the problems started from there.

Its the little details that matter. Either you read almostbob's comment as an insult or you just didn't understand what he was implying.

So relax. If something like this happens and it offends you, just flag it. Daniweb's admins will make sure your problems are resolved. Don't look at the posts as a way to discourage you from posting on this forum, or any, just look at it as advice. Attacking fire with fire typically doesn't help anyone.

Only difference is that's just one variable. I want two things to select which is displayed.

I maybe wrong, but are you asking if you can create a way where if you press one button, both videos/images show?

Ben, you have to understand that people are very sensitive to tone. Saying things like "happy now," "keep telling yourself that," I don't believe your helping" really just shows disrespect to those who help you. You have to remember that the people here who are helping you are experienced at what they do, so show some respect. Imagine talking to your parents like that, do you think they will like it? They most likely will not.

You are on a forum working with someone to solve a problem (every forum is the same), your not texting your friends. Just keep that in mind.

@JorgeM, don't forget the semicolon ;)

So, background-repeat: no-repeat;

can anyone make me a working login system, like login, register, and send all files + the Database file (Test DB file)?

We can make it. But we are not going to make it for you.

if anyone have some old codes!

Most old codes end up on the internet... in fact, at this time and age, its almost 2015... you can basically google your needs...

How is it insulting you, waow!?

It is insult to ask someone with experience to do what you want without a reward.

Please be kind, it doesn't take long to made...

Then why not spend the time and learn it... if it doesn't take long, of course.

currently 5 downvotes - which is spectacular

6 downvotes...

My number one rule (not mine, but i use it as my own so thank john wooden): Make each day a masterpiece.

Also, i like this triangle (from john wooden): https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CAQQjBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftobefree.files.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F06%2Fpyramid_lg.jpg&ei=RAmfVMvUG8nsoAS7k4LgDA&bvm=bv.82001339,d.cGU&psig=AFQjCNFLWuKsFI-Dyoy4ahLJUXcjn6w5Xw&ust=1419795132860409

This is honestly sad to hear. I have been gone for 2 months and I never thought i would even read this. I have learned a lot from reading his posts, he oftenly enlightened me by correcting my mistakes in the geek's lounge, just as Jim and Pritaeas would do. Or by reading his technical posts.

Rest in peace Melvin, you will be missed by the everyone.

Not to be mean but, if you need to post and get help with homework on this level, you have just been filtered out of Computer Science, perhaps a different career path is in your future?

Some people can be very stubborn thinking they will make it... sadly, their stubborness can also cause them to not drop out of something that isn't working out for them.

I have a habit of laying on the couch while doing some work on the computer (coding or schoolwork)... but while I lay there, my dogs and cat like to sit on me and the keyboard, hitting many random keys and functions and closing out certain pages that are unsaved -_-

I have no idea what it is like... I am not even an official junior in high school yet but i can tell you one thing... and that is that senior year is going to go by fast and you better have a university picked out ;)

Well... as long as you don't cause the problems you caused before, welcome back.

Congrats to you! If i remember, I think i got featured in august as well (unless it was june) of last year...

Have you tried using Magento? That is pretty popular...

1. Go to basic settings for your app
2. Select Add Platform
3. Select Website
4. Put URL in the Site URL

The "Add Platform" button isn't immediately apparent when you get to the basic settings page.

Buy the one in the purple container

I am guessing Daniweb sponsors that one... bud dum tiss (drum sound)

Here is a list of some pretty good ones:
http://www.awwwards.com/18-online-payment-services-and-systems.html
http://www.businessnewsdaily.com/4457-mobile-payment-solutions.html

Breadcrumb is also another good one that is not mentioned in those lists.

I hope that helps!

Please, pretty please, with sugar on top, stop posting the pointless 'w3schools' (your comment is pointless, not w3schools).

I think the best site to learn how to use html, make pie, flirt with singles online, hack the CIA, become a black belt in a martial arts, and read the secret files of the NSA is w3schools... yep, w3schools is that awesome, it can do anything...

Oh dear... w3schools i literally becoming cancer for this thread/forum -_-

Repeating nonsense or mentioning "w3schools" again just makes you look really stupid.

Or a spammer...

This is my point. These types of threads do nothing to further people's understanding. They just clog up the front page of a forum article list. We have had very few interesting or useful suggestions, but already we're on the 3rd page of comments.

Don't you have the power to mark this thread as solved and closed? This thread is basically just becoming more and more ridicolous after each post. The worst part is that the only users who say w3schools are users with less than 5 posts...

Like I said before:

I personally would be pissed off if i see the same website mentioned literally 20x in a row... but that does tell you that a) that site must be pretty good b) we have to make a post about the useful sources people can use within a post that is fixed on top so everyone will see it (kind of …

@iConqueror - turns out, beauty kills...

I don't know if this helps but I highly recommend for you to constantly wash yourself properly with soap and cold water. It helps prevent the growth of such things like you are dealing with atm.

Just few more steps and you're done. You can do it Dude :).

in that case, lets play the Rocky theme song for him :)

I always thought you were odd, now there is proof ;-)

Haven't you noticed my avatar? There is no way i can be considered normal no matter what we are talking about..

Two pairs dedicated for home use?

Yep.

Is that one for upstairs and one down, or one formal and one casual?

They are somewhat left around the house that way but realistacly, i just wear whatever one i see first.

Wehn do you wear the slippers if you also have shoes?

If my feet are cold or i just feel like it (and when my dogs and cat are not fighting for it), then i wear it.

Are the shoes for moving around in and the slippers for when you have sat down?

Not really. The shoes are just worn to keep the house clean and to protect my feet from hitting things (neither shoe look used... both look like they are display shoes at a nike store). the slippers are worn when i feel like it (typically winter mornings).

ROFL

Yeah :)

I thought this maybe a useful way to keep traffic within daniweb but what if you (Dani) made it so that when you click on a link, it opens a new window or better, new tab. It gets kind of annoying when opening them in the same window. just a recommendation.

I learned how to make a storm, and this is how you do it:

HTML:
<div class="stormy"></div>

CSS:

 /* STORMY */
    .stormy {
        animation: stormy 5s ease-in-out infinite;
        background: #222222;
        border-radius: 50%;
        box-shadow: 
            #222222 65px -15px 0 -5px, 
            #222222 25px -25px, 
            #222222 30px 10px, 
            #222222 60px 15px 0 -10px, 
            #222222 85px 5px 0 -5px;
        height: 50px;  
        width: 50px; 
        margin-left: -60px; 
        position: absolute;
        left: 947px; 
        top: 70px; 
    }

Okay... this may sound stupid but I just discovered the problem was that my brother played a prank on me by adding an extra folder in the directory (which i didn't notice until i realized that he threw everything in a folder called Nothing_Suspicious).

So, now all the elements should be showing on the page... which means it leads me to my next question. Why is it that my site gets stuck at the introduction i set up? I sent you both the link to the site to help me identify where the problem is. I gave you guys rep points for the previous contribution.

Saltwater crocodiles, Nile Crocodiles, Mike Tyson, and Luis Suarez have the hardest/deadliest bite in the animal kingdom ;)

Orcas (killer whales aka Shamu) kill sharks by torpedoing up into the shark's stomach from underneath, causing the shark to explode.

I seem to not be able to identify why the styling does not appear at all on my page... Did i reference something incorrectly? It all appears right to me... syntax, quotes, tags all look right. Does anyone have an idea what may be happening? Sorry if my question is unclear, I am frustrated with this website :)

Faulty equipment causes nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl
Money lost in 1986: $358 billion in clean-up and the value of lost farmland
Inflation adjusted price: $720 billion
In 1986, four reactors went out of control during a test which led to an explosion and fire. The fire destroyed the reactor building in its entirety. The explosion also released an unsafe amount of radiation into the air.

The explosion caused the immediate death of two plant employees and then in the months following, 28 firefighters and clean-up workers died because of exposure to the radiation.

I copied this directly from Business Insider.

Wife and handcuffs are practically the same word in spanish (this made my spanish teacher laugh today).
